‘For the first time in my life, I began to get complimented on my skin; all my friends and family noticed a huge difference.’
Navigating the vast array of acids, serums and creams in the skincare industry can be a daunting task. However, one dermatologist claims to have discovered a product that’s worth taking note of.
British skincare brand 47 Skin has received high praise from consultant dermatologist Dr Sunil Chopra, founder of the London Dermatology Centre. He commended the brand’s use of an exclusive ingredient, Silver Chitoderm, which is designed to purify the skin whilst visibly enhancing the look of post-blemish marks.
Dr Chopra asserts that the formula can result in skin feeling firmer and appearing smoother. He stated: “Silver Chitoderm kills bacteria, treats existing blemishes and helps fade pre-existing stubborn marks. It decreases the production of melanin, which is often elevated in marks, reducing pigmentation over time.”

He further added: “Unlike other spot treatments, it does not dry your skin but hydrates it, leaving the skin smooth and tighter. The combination of silver and Chitoderm creates a unique adhesiveness to the skin, helping improve fine lines and overall skin appearance.”
The idea for 47 Skin was sparked by a personal revelation. Founder Nic Taylor has previously revealed that the inspiration came after his grandmother introduced him to the key ingredient, reports the Mirror.

47 Skin is the only skincare brand in the world to contain Silver Chitoderm, a unique formula that helps prevent breakouts.
Speaking about the ingredient, Nic revealed to The Mirror: “Silver is naturally antibacterial and antimicrobial. The Chitoderm, which is bonded to the silver, is mucoadhesive, which means it’s sticky. Effectively, if the bacteria comes onto your face, the Silver Chitoderm will stick to the bacteria and the silver will kill it.”
For those who haven’t encountered the brand before, 47 Skin boasts an extensive range of products crafted to promote clearer, smoother-looking skin. Amongst their offerings are the Scar Repair Serum (£29), developed to diminish the visibility of post-blemish discolouration, and the Treatment Body Wash (£49), created to clear blocked pores whilst gently refining bumpy or coarse patches.
The brand additionally provides carefully selected bundles enabling customers to transform their skincare regime in a single purchase, ranging from £47.50 to £222. Anyone keen to sample the collection will be pleased to know that 47 Skin currently has a sale running, with certain products reduced for a limited time.
Apart from 47 Skin, Carbon Theory presents an excellent, marginally more budget-friendly option. Among its bestsellers is the Cleansing Bar (£6, Debenhams), which has received dermatological validation for its breakout-prevention benefits.
Alternatively, La Roche-Posay’s Effaclar collection is specially developed to address post-acne scarring and delicate, breakout-prone skin. The Effaclar Duo+M Anti-Breakout Corrective Gel Moisturiser (£10.90, Boots) similarly works to clear pores in order to help ward off blemishes.
47 Skin has received glowing reviews from satisfied customers. One user enthused: “For the first time in my life, I began to get complimented on my skin; all my friends and family noticed a huge difference. I have never looked nor felt better in my life! I couldn’t recommend 47 Skin more.”
Meanwhile, another customer shared: “I feel confident walking around without makeup. Something so small can make such a massive difference in how you feel about yourself. Thank you, 47 Skin.”
However, a few users mentioned they had difficulty extracting the last bit of the formula from the bottle. On a positive note, this 47 Skin aficionado chimed in: “This has truly changed my life, and I’m hoping more people can use the serum and it changes their life as it did mine.”
